Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Eb
Capo:1st fret
Tuning: Lute Tuning
EADF#Be (G string down a half step)
Because of the non standard tuning, he plays very specific versions of the
chords.
For this reason, using the chord library may not be possible for this song.
I have included tabs for all of the chords as they are played, including two
different versions of C minor.
Chord tabs are not relative to capo (i.e. 11 is actually the 11th fret)

I have so many questions and places to go
There are too many options, far too many unknowns
This is why I need you
And everyone talks now, but no one is right
There are too many armies with no one to fight
This is why I need you
'Cause you make the darkness less dark
You make the edges less sharp
You make the winter feel warmer
You make my weakness less weak
You make the bottom less deep
You make the waiting feel shorter
You make my crazy feel normal every time
You are the who, love is the what and this is the why
There are so many problems and no one who cares
There are so many roads and they all need repairs
This is why I need you
There's not enough chocolate, there's too many chores
There are so many mountains that I haven't explored
This is why I need you
'Cause you make the darkness less dark
You make the edges less sharp
You make the winter feel warmer
You make my weakness less weak
You make the bottom less deep
You make the waiting feel shorter
You make my crazy feel normal every time
You are the who, love is the what and this is the why
You keep the ship moving forward
